But believe it or not, other sites like Fiverr can be just as good — if not better! Of course, Fiverr prides itself on offering gigs that cost just $5 (with additional gig upgrades and packages priced differently), but that doesn't necessarily mean you can't get the most bang for your buck anywhere else. Here are nine Fiverr alternatives worth considering. 01 of 09 Upwork: The Top Freelancing Site on the Web oDesk was rebranded as Upwork and is currently one of the largest online marketplaces for businesses available online today. To get started, all you need to do is simply tell Upwork about the project you have in mind and you'll be matched up to some suggested experts. Just browse through their profiles and work, and select the one you're interested in working with. You also get your own little virtual workspace for collaboration, and all payments are of course securely handled through Upwork. Visit Upwork What We Like Many experts and employers. Uses escrow account for safe transactions. Easy to find qualified experts. What We Don't Like Difficult to find good-paying jobs. Large commission fee. 02 of 09 PeoplePerHour: Hire Expert Freelancers for Almost Any Gig If great quality is what you're looking for, PeoplePerHour is worth a shot.
